Tap into community, college resources

At the Board meeting tonight, a statement resonated with me.  Andres noted how SEEC was fortunate to be located in such a wealthy and caring community as Arlington.  The thought crossed my mind that perhaps we can tap into a few of these wealthy and caring communities.

One idea was to locate college groups with liberal agendas and professors with studies specific to Central/Latin America/immigration that would be willing to support or host an event for the laborers.

Why couldn’t we see if any embassies would be willing to host, advertise, or recommend grous with whom we could partner to raise awareness or funds?

Why couldn’t we solicit community associations to contribute to an event (even if it were even a food-can drive)?
